INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS SETUP · INDIA
Malaysia company incorporation is an SSM process. A private local company generally needs at least one director ordinarily resident in Malaysia, and the application must align the proposed name, members, office and business particulars. LIQUETAX can organise the India-side information and coordinate an agreed handoff; regulated Malaysian corporate-secretarial or legal work is performed only by an appropriately authorised local provider.

FROM FIRST CONVERSATION TO HANDOVER
We prepare, coordinate and track the agreed work. You stay involved in the decisions that matter.
Document the proposed local-company or foreign-company scope and open questions.
Prepare the founder, director, office and corporate-record checklist.
Transfer the agreed file to the identified Malaysian professional and track questions.
Organise available incorporation evidence and unresolved actions.
Preparation starts after ownership, director and activity decisions are complete. SSM processing, name availability, local-provider onboarding and additional approvals are outside LIQUETAX's control; obtain a dated plan from the appointed Malaysian provider.
KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU STAND
The written engagement confirms your deliverables and costs before work starts.
ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Need help with your specific situation?
Talk to our teamSSM's incorporation guidance states that a private company needs at least one director who ordinarily resides in Malaysia. Confirm eligibility and the real governance arrangement with the local provider.

SSM provides a separate foreign-company registration route. A branch and a Malaysian subsidiary are not interchangeable; compare liability, tax and operating needs first.

No such representation is made. LIQUETAX can coordinate information and an agreed handoff; any Malaysian regulated appointment must be held by an eligible local provider.
No. Company-name processing and trademark protection are separate questions.
Only if an itemised written engagement includes coordination for them. Neither approval is guaranteed by company incorporation.
Ask for separate LIQUETAX, Malaysian-provider, SSM, address, certification and optional service lines, plus the responsible provider for each deliverable.
SSM requires appointment within 30 days after incorporation. Agree the eligible local appointee, consent, scope and recurring fee before formation so this task is ready at handover. LIQUETAX coordination does not itself fill that regulated office.

| Question | What matters | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Local or foreign company | SSM describes incorporation of a local company and registration of a foreign company as different routes. | Choose only after reviewing ownership, liability, operations and local advice. |
| Resident director | A private local company generally requires at least one director ordinarily resident in Malaysia. | Confirm the proposed person's eligibility, consent and real governance role. |
| Name and activity | The proposed name and business particulars form part of the SSM process. | Name approval is not a trademark or sector-licence clearance. |
| Local professionals | Foreign applicants may need Malaysian company-secretarial, legal, tax or licensing support. | LIQUETAX does not represent itself as an SSM-licensed local corporate secretary. |
